Outpost Arts For All Foundation

At the heart of AMO is a commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and equity. We are committed to creating opportunities for artists and musicians to thrive and develop.

We have officially launched our long-overdue foundation: Outpost Arts for All, held under our fiscal sponsors and beloved community partners at Hive Center for Book and Paper Arts, a book and literary arts non-profit in Evanston. Outpost Arts for All supports all of our community work and no barrier scholarships for youth programming. Please consider supporting our efforts to care for one another through the arts.

This summer alone, Art Makers Outpost provided $26,000 in scholarships out of our own funds during our 10-week summer camp, on top of a baseline $10,000 a year for year-round requests. We have ZERO outside funding or sponsorships for our core programs at this time. Our concerts are curated and produced as a labor of love by our team and most of the proceeds go to paying the artists. When we sell out we are able to cover most of our costs but not all and we depend on sponsors and contributions towards our efforts to continue to do what we do and grow. We offer tons of free community programming with no funding as well, community crafting days both in our space and out in community, heavily discounted field trips for students, markets for youth and adult artists and we offer space to community groups such as Considered Cloth, Evanston Writers and our Drum circles and space for lessons for community members. If you are a business or organization interested in funding or partnering to benefit our scholarship efforts, community efforts or specific programming please contact info@artmakersoutpost.com. Thank you for your contribution towards our efforts to ensure we can continue to help artists of all ages and all kinds thrive in our community.
